Chapter 757: The great CEO Ji is not only vain but also a joker.
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Looking at the partially laughing woman beside him, Ji Ziming felt his throat begin to itch again.
“Cough!”
For the first time, the man found himself having moments when he did not know what to do.
“My dear boyfriend, come tell me about it.”
Pei Ge hugged him arm and stared at him with unblinking eyes. A hint of playfulness flashed across them.
“…” He swallowed lightly and, in the end, told her the truth.
“Earlier, I…”
She laughed aloud after she heard his words, not expecting him to search about how to buy goods at a wet market.
“Ziming, you can’t be serious. It’s just buying stuff. Did you have to make Du Wen research such topic and be here at a specific time? Ha ha! Did you really have to go to such an extent?”
She suddenly felt that her boyfriend was not only vain but also a joker!
See? He can turn a simple activity of buying goods into this.
He made it so serious that, if someone did not know better, they would really think that he was buying the market’s land and running a big project here.
“…” The man kept quiet, feeling utterly gloomy. He knew that he should not have admitted to it.
“Ha ha ha! The young fellow is so amusing.”
Even the uncle selling beef at the side was amused by him.
“Ha ha!” Seeing that even the uncle selling beef was laughing, her smile got even more radiant.
“Young lady, I think your boyfriend just cares a lot about you, or else isn’t it just going to the wet market to buy ingredients?” the uncle selling beef said with a smile.
Upon hearing that, she shifted her gaze onto her boyfriend unconsciously, and a warm feeling rose inside her.
“Ziming, thank you,” she said gently, her fingers interlocked with his.
“You dummy.” His lips upturned a little when he heard her grateful words.
“But…” She suddenly blinked, the earlier teasing dissipating. “Don’t do something so silly again next time!”
She looked at him with a bright smile on her face.
“…” His lips twitched a little and he thought, How is this amusing?
“He he! Young lady, you and your boyfriend are amusing. Here. I’ve cut the beef for you; it’s the most tender beef tenderloin, and I’ll even give you a discount.”
Happily paying for the beef, the pair of lovebirds was almost done purchasing goods.
The two came to the wet market empty-handed, but now, their hands were full of items.
“I’ll carry everything; they’re heavy.” He reached for the bags she was carrying.
However, when she saw that he was carrying more bags, she moved away to dodge him.
“It’s fine. These aren’t heavy at all,” she said, smiling at him as she swung the bags.
“See? They’re not heavy at all.”
“Neither is mine.”
As he spoke, he forcibly took the bags in her hands.
“Hey! How can you take my stuff?”
“Okay. Come now; the car’s just right outside. It’s not that far.”
“No matter how near it is, you still can’t take my bags.”
As the two walked further from the noisy marketplace, the setting sun cast their shadows on the pavement.
Just seeing their intimate backs and hearing their light bickering, they could really make all those singles out there envious.
Bang!
After putting all their bought stuff in the back of the car, the two got into the car and headed to her temporary abode in Tianjin.
Because her apartment was close to the marketplace, the car arrived at her place in a few minutes’ time.
“We’re here.”
After she got out of the car, she still failed at carrying any bags. She pouted and smiled at the man.
She truly did not expect that he would be like this to her one day.
When they first met, this man was such a heartless boss!
Now…
Looking at the man with arms full of plastic bags, she had uncontrollable fits of giggles.
Still, this time round, she did not laugh aloud so casually.
Instead, her lips were pursed as she laughed tenderly; her eyes were full of bliss.
It was nice that she had actually met this man.
It was nice that they had met, gotten to know each other, and fallen in love at the right time.
Her eyes narrowed into twin crescents from smiling a lot. She looked at the slender, reliable figure before her, and a feeling of bliss rose in her.
She laughed, took her phone out of her bag, and captured his back view in this snow.
Checking the photo she snapped casually, its artistic flavor made it seem as if it were taken by a professional photographer.
Her red lips curled up as she gazed at the photo on her screen.
How could she not share such a great photo to others?
With a few taps, she uploaded that photo on her private Weibo account.
She also added a caption under the picture.
The man walking ahead frowned and turned when he sensed that his girlfriend was lagging behind.
“What’s wrong?”
When he turned around, he saw her smiling at her phone.
“Nothing! Nothing much.” Collecting her thoughts, she quickly put her phone away and walked to him.
…
Ding!
When the elevator doors parted open, she led him to her apartment in Tianjin and opened the door with her keys.
After she opened the anti-theft door, she took the bags from him quickly.
“You must be tired.”
She took the grocery bags to the kitchen before she changed into her indoor slippers.
“I’m alright.”
He raised his head and surveyed the condo she was staying. Even though it was not very big, it had everything one needed and even had a decent décor. He was happy to see that.
“You take a seat in the living room first; I’ll put these…”
She was dealing with the fish and meat in the kitchen when she saw him walk in from outside.
“I’ll do it.”
Because the kitchen was rather small, it was a little cramped with them both in it.
In an instant, the kitchen became rather cramped.
By the time he walked over to her side, the two were rather close to each other.
“Why are you here? Go out; go out!”
She put the fish in the basin and washed her hands. She then positioned her elbow against his chest, indicating for him to leave the kitchen first.
However, instead of listening to her and leaving the kitchen, he took the apron that she was wearing and put it on.
“I’ll do it; you go out.”
